World’s first fully electric built Mountain Bike Trail: The Nagens Trail | Part 1 | Biketrails LAAX

Nagens Trail - the World’s first mountain bike trail that is built with 100% electric machinery, all charged with renewable energy. What this means: No combustion engines are allowed on the mountain. Electric excavators, electric compactors, electric dumpers, electric chainsaws. All transports of the crew, including visits of the authorities, photographers, officials, supervisors etc. are done by e-cars or e-bikes. All batteries are charged with sustainably produced electricity from hydro or solar power. Velosolutions joins forces with Flims Laax Falera to create the World’s first fully electric built Mountain Bike Trail: The Nagens Trail How is this even possible? Only a few days before construction started, Velosolutions realized that there where power outlets all along the planned Nagens Trail. That’s when the 48 hour race started, trying to source all the electric machinery. Thanks to a big team effort, all the machinery arrived in Flims right on time. The Velosolutions team around Claudio Caluori and LAAX are committed to 'go all the way', even if that might come with some challenges. Since there was no electric powered truck big enough to transport the machinery up to the mountain, they decided that the machinery had to make it up there using their own battery power, which led to the first challenge: They ran out of battery halfway up. Luckily, they could reach the next power output and were back on their way up, 2 hours later. Taking on a ‘Worlds-First’ project is obviously not the easiest pathway, every day there is a new challenge that pops up, from the threat of lightning, to broken machinery. Claudio is so committed to this greenstyle project that he won’t let any staff up the hill in a fossil fueled car, not even photographers. Just to make sure nobody is cheating, he rides his Kenevo up there every day, sometimes a couple times per day… To follow the story as it winds its way down the hill, you can email us directly, or check the updates on Instagram or Facebook.
